El Vampire Kills Bugs SURE DEATH TO FLIES Harmless to Man and Beast. 10c HCRSES !N ANCIENT' BATTL7 Seom to Have Cjen kittle Used E -:;.t to Carry tl.e Infantry Into the Finht. In Hie old days when (lie Romans anil Cfreeks fought fnrlou tallies, the charioteers drove their ears In nil directions, hurled their Javelins, and by the rtln nod . clatter of horses nnd wheels commonly threw the ranks of Ihe enemy Into disorder, and, making their way amtng Ihe squadrons of the enemy's cavalry, leaped down from their chariots and fought on foot. The charioteers then wltiidrew, little hy little, from the fight, and placed their chariots In such n way that If they were hard pressed (hey could readily retreat to (heir own side. Thus In hntlle they afforded the nobility of cavalry with the steadi ness of Infantry. Dally practice en abled them to pull up Iheir horses at fall speed when on a sleep slop;1, or to run out on the pole and stand on ihe yoke, anil to get nimbly back Into (lie chariot. Willi Ihe Introduction of cavalry In the Inter iron age came larger horses, hut their use for Ibis pur nose seems to have been restricted to lsnla'ted areas. There ts ho doubt that the west German tribes, as lite as the campaign of Caesar In Ootll. used only the shaggy pony. It Is said in cavalry nclions they held It disgraceful and slothful to use any. kind of saddle, nnd Instead of charg ing in squadrons they dismounted nnd fought on foot. As far as England1 Is concerned, the art of riding seems to have been introduced by the Normans. The Saxons appear to have been but Indifferent horsemen. cU, Ht lAKtS AIR FLIGHT McFADDEN PHARMACY The R&xa Store utinvi?

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS. v"hcn buying meats, see that they have a good color and nre well mot tled with fat. A fresh fish will be bright eyed, llesli firm and odor sweet. When buying such fruits rs oranges and grapefruit, the weight Is a good test, the heavier Ihe better. Nuts hold a high place ns food and may take the place of meat In many illxhes. Nut Stuffing for baked onions Is especially appetizing. A line Shield from the hot sun when reading, working in the garden or rest ing Is a large umbrella lied lo the handle of ft pltehlTirk. The fork Is xlui'k Into the ground anywhere you wish and you are left in Ihe shade. When you hnve agreeable neighbors why ami do as two enterprising house keepers do, who hnve a small family and like frusb cuke? Kheh bakes a cake In turn, dividing; wllh Ihe 'other. In ibis way they always have fresh cuke evil Ihe work Is divided. rout' corn Rinsit while not into greased hnklng powder cans aiul when the mush is cool It will slice In nice, uniform slices. When food scorches, remove at once from the dish and set Ihe pan Into cold water, the steam rising from the ! food will dissipate much of the scorched llavor. Wb n dish Is badly burned, to clean It All with cold water nnd n little soda, let simmer until (he food can be easily removed. When baking tomatoes, or peppers, put Ibem In muffin pans and they will not lose their shape. A smnll egg heater and a rotary cream whip that will fit Into n CUP Is a great convenience for beating one egg or n small amount of cream, Aluminum dishes which have been roughly scratched will need to be re buffed, for the dish will always trouble hy burning easily. There Is no economy In using old, worn-out, clumsy lools. A leaky pall which leaves Its trail wherever It Is carried is the worst kind of economy. A soap shaker which uses up ail the thin and small bits of soup Is a use ful kitchen convenience. Sn?s a French rhaplaln: "We have TOO.pfK) girls who will never have die change to marry."

There Is always danger, when any one concentrates, that the concentrn tton will be carried too far so far that It produces a narrow, one-sided and warpod point of view. The great scientist, the great scholar, the greai thinker In any line Is usually not an all-around "good fellow." "Grabbed, "oncer," "peculiar." "odd," "funny" .and "warped" arc these not the nd Joetlves that generally describe the geniuses of ihe world? The very ef fort to concentrate on the one sub ject which has brought success tins made It Impossible to keep In touch wllh the thousand nnd-one currents of thought and topics of conversnilon which go to make up comfortable and easy-going life. Like the old sen cap tain, these geniuses miss something in their effort to Qx their attention on one thing. In splie of this danger, it Is a good thing to work for concentration. The likelihood of becoming one-sided Is big where genius Is concerned, but then It can be excused. Most of us can safety concentrate our attentlou and still feel sure that we will keep In touch wllh the world about us. $100 Reward, $100 The render of this paper will bo pleased to learn that there Is at least ow 'dreaded disease that science ha? be hi able to cure In all Its stages and that Is catarrh.
